Late For Changeover is the podcast for anyone who’s ever rolled into guard mount a few minutes late but still got the job done—with a story to tell. Hosted by veterans Marty Smith, Eric “Mr. History” Piarrot, Jake Wall, Ana Mondragon, and rotating guests, this weekly show blends military humor, historical deep dives, space-force-level absurdity, and off-the-rails banter. It’s smart, sharp, and just unhinged enough to keep you coming back. From billion-dollar rocket launches to confederate statue debates, every episode serves up irreverent takes from people who’ve been there, done that, and still remember their shift-change stories. ”Swearing In” is a special interview series from Late For Changeover that explores the moment everything changed: the decision to raise your right hand. Through intimate, one-on-one conversations, each episode dives into the personal stories behind enlistment, capturing the motivations, fears, and defining moments that led individuals to military service. From first-generation soldiers to second-chance enlistees, Swearing In honors the deeply human side of the uniform, offering listeners a raw, reflective look at where the journey really begins. Late For Changeover isn’t just jokes and jargon. Beneath the laughs are reflections on identity, transition, leadership, and what it means to serve—and then move on. Whether you’re a vet, an active-duty listener, or just someone who loves to laugh at acronyms and unpack the weirdness of bureaucracy, you’ll feel right at home. No branch is spared, no topic is off limits, and no one escapes a roast—especially the hosts. Hit subscribe, and join the formation. Just don’t be late.

This week on Late For Changeover, we kick things off on a somber note as Jake honors the life of his uncle, Marine Major Benjamin Franklin Collins III—a true warfighter and American original. From there, it’s back to the regularly scheduled chaos: SpaceX flexes its sci-fi muscles by catching its Starship booster with giant metal chopsticks. Yes, really. Elon’s out here playing orbital Jenga, and we are so here for it.
Meanwhile, the Navy launches an investigation into welds that apparently didn’t hold up to the "boat floats, don’t sink" standard, a Marine recruiter gets brig time (and no, it’s not for bad PowerPoint slides), and Miss America suits up in a bite sleeve to experience military working dog training firsthand. We close with a look back at the 1983 Marine barracks bombing in Lebanon—one of the deadliest days in Corps history. It’s space tech, sea trials, bite training, and battlefield memories—served with a shot of dark humor and zero apologies. This is your go-to space news podcast for real talk and News for Vets who know the difference between a good weld and government optimism.
